Funny, I was just going through orientation at Wegmans, and they had like an hour’s worth of videos and talks about unions. They don’t penalize you for joining, but if you work at Wegmans, why the hell would anyone want to join a union?

I have no idea what a Wegmans is but the simple idea of a union despite what you may have heard is an advocate for your rights as a worker. Cue the massed and vocal outrage of the uneducated and vocal right wing members of MCS.

Unions are why the government keeps raising your taxes- they can’t fire anybody.
Unions are why shit like a new car that used to cost $3,500 in 1970 costs $70,000 now. Inflation alone would only have made it @20,000. ( www.usinflationcalculator.com/)
Unions raising production costs through the roof are why Corporate America shut down their factories here and moved them to Asia.
Unions force you to pay dues that they spend on POLITICAL causes you don’t agree with.
Most Union Leadership is as much about BIG MONEY as the CorporRATs are.

Just because that website and video message is an attack on collective-bargaining doesn’t mean they’re wrong.

Cars in 1970 did not have sophisticated computer controlled engines, anti-lock brakes, fuel-injection, back-up cameras, air bags, emission controls, built-in OnStar, GPS, quality stock stereos, sattelite radio, IPod docks, heated seats, power windows, power door locks, power seats, buit-in DVD players, or any of the other innovations that have come along in the last 40 years.
